Apple give attention to the Mac? Hahahahaha!!!!

Its their forgotten platform!

Is that why they came out with an entirely new MacBook last year?

Well they came out very late in comparison to the competition. Not talking about no Mac Pro since 2013 or soldered ram in the iMac with 5400 rpm!!!! hard drive. Premium prize usually means better in any way. Not ripping your loyal customers off. They've lost the video market, what's next?

Some kind of file system (drag and drop) and multiple users. Better stability and a premium experience for a premium product. Being able to use iChat with other people not owning an apple device since more of my friends bought the s7 edge recently. Edge to edge screen. The bezels are too thick and make it look outdated right to the s7 edge. Better use of 3D Touch. A much better camera that makes good photos in low light conditions. Make it waterproof too. Would love to be able to make movies while snorkeling above the reef. Wireless charging. An OLED notifications Smart Cover. Make it cheaper too. It's good for Apple to make money but keep the prize reasonable for what you get. Premium prizes are only justified when better then the rest. Since the difference between iOS and Android getting smaller with each release, I hope iOS 10 will be a big leap forward.

I'm a longtime apple user and fan but it's justified. You can't sell at premium prices when the competition is ahead of you. See the Galaxy s7, I hate how they copy apple and I don't like Samsung logo, but it's ahead of iPhone, period. Sometimes I wonder what apple is doing because competition is on par or ahead of them (Apple TV (no Dutch Siri or voice active here), Mac Pro (they will lose video market too if they don't have a compelling update soon, but I know video editors who've already given up on Apple)). I'm willing to pay a little bit more for an apple and was waiting for Apple to introduce an iMac with the latest i7 and screen update. I got disappointed and angry when they did. Soldered ram, a hard drive from the nineties and above premium price. Forgive my bad English but when you don't stay ahead of the competition it's not justified to ask premium prices. That's how the market works and you'll see in product market share. And no, I'm not a troll. Just a disappointment Apple user. I hope Apple will do better. It's like a dejavu for me. I was disappointed in the late nineties too when Steve said PowerPC was the future and my friends with Intel pcs were much faster with their wintel in Photoshop than my 3x expensive G4 power Mac.
Come on Apple, your products are not that diverse as Samsung or other brands. Concentrate and make the best again. Listen to your loyal user base and bring more ports to your MacBooks. Aesthetics are important but so does workability. How ugly is a MacBook with adaptors.
I hope WWDC will bring some innovation again and the iPhone 7 mind blowing. Cheers.

Apple is years ahead of the competition and worth every penny. This is why everyone who can afford an Apple device owns one.

Stick to your spyware knockoffs if it makes you happy.

You don't read what I'm trying to tell you and I'm only expressing my concerns. This is mainly the reason why I'm trying to avoid posting here. You only can post positive otherwise you'll be put off like a troll.

sure you are an Apple fan.

And that's why you only have 6 posts here and each one is negative.

Sorry, sog35 I'm just not blinded by rose gold. And I want my money spent well. Maybe I only react when I'm dissatisfied. Apple has done great, great things but they're getting slow and behind in technology. I've seen that happening before and I'm expressing my concerns because I care for Apple as most appleinsider users do. I find it shortsighted of you to put me off like only posting negativity. Open your eyes and face reality. Here in the Netherlands I see more and more Samsung S7 edge phones and video professionals departing Mac platform. I don't have the money for a 27 inch iMac. I was considering waiting for a new 21,5 inch and it's not compelling for that price. MacBook with just one port? Ever thought of backing up, needing your usb drive and needing power? If you see otherwise, please make me see it otherwise instead of unfounded claims. Cheers.
